Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Implement an engineering approach dealing with a set problem taking into account technical, economic and environmental constraints
• Design, evaluate and optimise solutions addressing the problem
• Understand the theoretical and methodological fundamentals in science and engineering to solve problems involving these disciplines
• Identify, describe and explain basic scientific and mathematical principles
• Identify, describe and explain the basic principles of engineering particularly in their specialising field
• Select and rigorously apply knowledge, tools and methods in sciences and engineering to solve problems involving these disciplines

Learning Outcomes of UE

establish the relation between the various properties ;
describe in thermodynamic terms the equilibrium between real phases ;
evaluate the properties of gases and liquids (pure and in mixtures) ;
use the relations to solve classical chemical engineering operations (distillation, absorption, adsorption, extraction, chemical reactions).
